YouTube - Final Duel Now here is one where I knew exactly what scene was going to make the list. Nothing even came close in my mind when it came to sheer re-watchability: the final duel in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly . The movie clocks in at about three hours, which is no small commitment when you want to sit down and watch the whole thing. Payback is roughly half as long, and I still re-watch that entire movie all the time. But with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly , I can jump straight to the final showdown and be completely satisfied. While this isn't my favorite Western, it's pretty incredible that a 1966 movie can still feel this impressive almost 60 years later. I also haven't watched the other two movies in the trilogy yet, so I'm going into this one without much comparison. I like it more than Unforgiven , although I see a similarity between the two: most of the movie sits at a pretty solid level, but then the ending takes everything up several notches. And wh...

I love all the songs in The Hobbit, both the Peter Jackson one and the 1977 cartoon version. I would consider the Gollum scene, especially the Andy Serkis one rewatchable as well as the Smaug scene.  The first song I fell in love with was the Down Down to Goblin Town from the cartoon so this is the one I truly believe is the most rewatchable. YouTube - Cartoon - Goblin Town YouTube - Movie - Goblin Town My second favorite song is the That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates dishes scene. YouTube - Cartoon - That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates YouTube - Movie - That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates This link has both the cartoon and the film versions of the Far Over The Misty Mountains.  YouTube - Misty Mountains Then finally we get a deleted scene of a song in the movie by Bofur, which I really love. I'm a sucker for Irish/Celtic music. YouTube - Bofur's Song Stole this from the comments - "How ironic that many years later, the One Ring will be placed at the Council of Elrond ri...

YouTube - Opening Scene Quentin Tarantino has you hooked in the first scene of IB. Christoph Waltz commands the screen like no other. The first scene is only hinted at being something sinister until the floorboards are revealed to show the family hidden beneath. Landa walks away with the rest of the movie. But here is my second appearance of Brad Pitt, with at least one more coming. There are plenty of scenes I had considered. YouTube - Killing Hitler  - Rewriting history YouTube - Eating Strudel  - Feels like a bet that QT lost, "I bet I could make an intriguing scene where they just eat dessert".  YouTube - Butchering Italian Accents  - Probably the funniest scene. But the true best scene in the movie, doesn't have Waltz nor Brad Pitt, oh great now I have to watch this movie again. No, the best scene has Michael Fassbender alongside Diane Kruger. You don't got to be Stonewall Jackson to know you don't fight in a basement. YouTube - Basement Fight

YouTube - All Work and No Play Part 1 YouTube - All Work and No Play Part 2 This won't be the last Jack Nicholson sighting on this list. I can think of at least two more scenes that I eat up more than this one. This is one of my favorite horror movies. One of the films that got me into the genre. It's famous King didn't like the result but let's be honest Kubrick did a fantastic job. The 1997 TV remake wasn't close. Doctor Sleep is pretty good, but it's also pretty different. The nitpick that Torrance already starts off as a haunting figure is a reasonable one, however the movie still works. There are a couple other scenes like the 237 and the elevator/redrum scenes that are objectionably scarier. The Here' Johnny scene is more famous, but this one has much more to unpack and is the climax of the relationship of the married couple. Shelley's Wendy finds out what possessed Jack has been up to and eventually clubs him over it.

YouTube - Poker and Bathtub It feels all kinds of wrong for my favorite scene in this movie to not have Denzel in it. Our main character Jake isn't having a good time. Ethan Hawke is doing a hell of an acting job though. I love everything about this scene from the reveal that Alonzo had abandoned him, to escape his company and ending up on the bottom of a bathroom to only be saved by a heroic deed he had done earlier in the movie. The ending scene has probably the most quotable line from the entire thing. YouTube - Godzilla Got Shit On Me Truly every single line that Denzel delivers is poetry which is what makes this scene special. I could probably point out two or three more scenes here where he just does it but instead enjoy my favorite song about Denzel.

YouTube - Tis but a Scratch Alright, we'll all it a draw. The Black Knight is my favorite part of this comedy which has some other good moments I considered. Most of the skits are 8/10s at a minimum, but it's short. It clocks in at 90 minutes but the last words are spoken at about 80 minutes. It had these side clips of someone getting killed and the police investigating until at the end, when the police just show up and arrest the knights and that's the end of the movie. There's probably 60 golden minutes here though.  Links to some other great scenes -  YouTube - Bridge of Death YouTube - Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Robin YouTube - Stay Here, and Make Sure He Doesn't Leave the Room YouTube - What, Behind the Rabbit? and the Holy Hand Grenade YouTube - Knights Who Say Ni!

YouTube - Achilles vs Hector I like 85% of the movie Troy. It's a little too long with a little too much fluff in places. I could watch every minute of either Brad Pitt or Eric Bana though when they are onscreen. So of course my favorite scene is their fight. Every time I watch it, I get a pit because they really treat Hector as the Aragorn of this movie, so it sucks when he dies with 30 minutes left.  However, I have also been re-watching the beginning quite a bit recently. It moves quickly sets the tone of the two main characters, good stuff.  YouTube - The Introduction of Achilles. This one isn't really rewatchable, but it's funny -  YouTube - Hector! Hector! Hector!
